Before After

1lb down.

Kind of discouraging. But it's a loss. Plus I didn't try to hard. I'm sure it just a regular fluctuation. We'll see how next week goes.

I'm going on the diet completely on Monday. This weekend we are visiting the mountains in NC, and I just don't have everything figured out. BUT I did bring healthy snacks. So as long as I eat healthy at restaurants and not load up on pasta or anything. Everything should be fine.

Today I started Metformin/Glucophage. I have PCOS, and a high chance of diabetes. The PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) can make it hard for me to lose weight because my body likes to hold on to sugars and such. I took it before getting pregnant, to help regulate my cycles. And I had the pleasant side effect of weight dropping quicker than with just diet and exercise.

I NEED to be on it for my family history, but I can't help but hope it will help me lose weight. I tend to eat healthier while taking it, because eating things high in sugar and fat can cause a big tummy upset. Plus, you know, it can prevent some cysts from forming on my ovaries. Which is ALWAYS a good thing, those suckers are horrible when they burst.

I also discovered a love for cheddar rice cakes. Takes care of that salty craving, and its only one point!

Good Luck to everyone. I'm exhausted. I'm going to SLEEP.
